CRAB SALAD IN ENDIVE LEAVES

I saw the lovely Giada de La make this on The Food Network last week, and HAD to do this for guests for lunch. Followed the recipe as written, except - as a Chesapeake Bay seafood lover, HAD to add a sprinkle of Phillips Seafood Seasoning. (NOT Old Bay --too salty!) Served with Recipe #137331 - Greek-Style Oven-Baked Lemon Parmesan Potatoes, by Kittencal. All were suitably impressed! Super simple, too !

ENDIVE LEAVES WITH CRAB RILLETTES



Endive Leaves With Crab Rillettes image

Canned lump crabmeat is transformed in these light, slightly spicy rillettes. I have been pleased with the canned lump crabmeat I have been finding lately at Trader Joe's. It is fresh and perfect for both crab cakes and for these light, slightly spicy rillettes, which I serve on endive leaves. You can also stuff cherry tomatoes with the rillettes, or mini bell peppers, or just serve them on croutons or crackers. You have a choice here of using a combination of Greek yogurt and crème fraîche, or all Greek yogurt. In the spirit of rillettes, which would be much fattier than these if they were more authentic, I vote for the yogurt/crème fraîche combo, but if you want to keep calories down use all yogurt.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces lump crabmeat
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons crème fraîche (or omit and use 4 tablespoons yogurt)
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (to taste)
1 to 2 tablespoons minced chives (to taste)
1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped mint (to taste)
1 serrano pepper, finely chopped
Salt to taste
4 endives

Steps:

  • Drain crabmeat and place in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork. Add olive oil, yogurt and crème fraîche and mash together until mixture is spreadable. Add lime juice, chives, mint and chile and work in. Season to taste with salt. You should have about 1 1/3 cups.
  • Break off endive leaves at the base. The easiest way to do this is to cut base away, break off a round of leaves, then keep slicing away the base so that the leaves will easily break off at the bottom. Spoon crab rillettes onto leaves and arrange on a platter. Serve at once, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
